About this Collection

This original graphic novel, set in the world of Bill Willingham's Fables, follows Bigby Wolf as he investigates a series of mysterious disappearances in the American heartland. The story delves into Bigby's past and the nature of his werewolf heritage, revealing a hidden community of werewolves living in a small town. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Craig Hamilton, this standalone tale expands the lore of the Fables universe beyond the main series.

In "Chapter One: When We All Lived in the Forest," the fragile peace of Story City shatters as Bigby Wolf leads the Spezialeinheit in a brutal campaign of destruction, while Carl's fanatical followers turn on their own in a desperate bid to kill him. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Jim Fern with inks by Craig Hamilton, Ray Snyder, Mark Farmer, and Fern himself, this pivotal issue unfolds with haunting intensity, set against Lee Loughridge’s evocative colors and Todd Klein’s precise lettering. The cover, by Daniel Dos Santos, captures the storm at the heart of the chaos.
